Project description: The project “Jadro – the spring of life” aims to unify the area around the special reserve into a unique visitor area for the purpose of preserving bio and geodiversity. This project valorizes the source of the Jadro through the development of visitor infrastructure, which increases educational capacity but also establishes better management and protection of natural heritage. Special attention is paid to the infrastructure that contributes to the protection of the ichthyological reserve and the endemic species of soft-mouth trout. This project contributes to the education of the population and visitors, which will ensure the long-term ecological sustainability of the excursion site.
Goals and results of the project: To create a unique visitor area of a special reserve and the immediate surroundings for the purpose of preserving biodiversity, with an emphasis on the protected species, soft-mouth trout, which, along with “Rika” and Salona, is one of the symbols of Solin.
